A/n: I got this first idea from a 'Confessions of Geogia Nicolson' book. It made me laugh so I thought I'd put it in. I tried making this chapter comical as to make up for chapter 7 and to show Ginny apart from her sad and thoughtful side. Enjoi..

I took a different approach to this chapter and wrote from Ginny and Draco's perspective.

Chapter 8

I grumbled to myself. Despite my childish actions I had thought long and hard about last night. Ron and I were in a great need to talk. Well a proper one. Glancing at the invitation sitting peacefully in the centre of the table I walked towards it with my phone in hand.

I dialled and put the phone to my ear. It rang a couple of times before the male voice rang through the other end, "Hello?"

"Malfoy?" I whispered.

"Weasley? Speak up, honestly..."

"I'm about to call Ron."

"That's great Weasley. Goodbye."

"Oh, okay bye."

I put the phone down and sighed. I had seen him last night, but this was a phone thing and people never really seemed the same taking to a phone. Or in a phone. Whichever. My heart seemed so heavy as my finger crossed over the number pad, dialling each number with as much will not too.

I placed the phone to my ear. But as soon as I heard ringing on the other end I pressed 'end' and slammed the phone down. I was just about to try again, when the phone rang.

I picked it up and said, "Look, can you get off the phone? I am just about to make a very important phone call."

And Hermione said, "Ginny? Have you just called me?"

Ohbloodyblimey.

I totally forgot about wanting to talk to Ron. Instead I made up some ludicrous story about me having to attend a tea party in relation to slow apples. I just started babbling and I don't think she heard a word of it because the minute I stopped she had this great idea to talk to me about her wedding. Oh it sounded so gorgeous. With Blue ribbons and lace covering the whole room. She also told me that it was being called the wedding of the year, A must to be invited to. At the mention of being invited my face began to turn all red and I needed to shut her up.

"Is Ron there?" I but in.

"What, oh sorry no. Why, I'd be very pleased to tell him that you called to confirm your attendance for our big day." She is such a tart.

"I haven't said a thing about coming. Have I?" This was getting me nowhere. She was unbelievably smart but she had a very poor supply of common sense.

"No you haven't but Ginny, you called. It's been so long and yet were simply talking to one another right now.." Her face was probably all smiles.

"All I wanted was to talk to my bloody brother and continue what he had come to my house to say yesterday." She is so dull because that just got her started all over again.

"OH GINNY! He went there, in person? And because I asked him too? That's soo sweet. You guys are talking to each other tooo..." She tries to hard. If I was there I would slap her. Did she get any sleep last night? Didn't Ron tell her? Oh forget it. Forget this.

Now she haddecided to explain about how he came home all huffy last night and she had thought nothing of it untill now... blah blah blah.

"Save your breath, I've gotta go. Tell him I called." As I hung up I could hear her, "Oh that tea party..."

I threw the cordless phone across the room. Them things have become quite popular in Wizarding London these past few years. It's a wonder I know how to use them. I pulled back the silk sheets and gazed at the room. A couple of days and I feel like I lived here my whole life. The only problem being that I only know one person, actually two if count the Pansy clone, but I would hardly consider all her flirting 'knowing' someone.

Sitting in the kitchen, I looked back at Ginny's face when I left. She had that look of a lost puppy and the distance of being alone. Like everything had caught up with her and she was once again being pulled back. Like any other time she would have just ignored it, ignored him but this time she didn't want to move.

I knew this because the redhead was wearing the necklace. She seemed to have put it on this fine Sunday morning. I had half the heart to apparate there and yank the stupid chain away from her. Before it was fine but now it was annoying. Her thoughts were like a broken record, going over the same thing. If she wasn't so diferent from the geeky school girl she had been in school, I probably would have.

The instant she started talking to me I knew this was going to happen, I was going to fall for Weasley just as she had fallen for me that Summer. That Summer however I was just trying to tell someone about my horrible childhood, someone I wasn't close with; who wouldn't dare tell anyone else.

'You're so stupid Ginny. You're wearing the thing Malfoy gave you. He's probably laughing at you right now. Get it off. GET IT OFF!'

I'm not one to normally laugh but now I was. She liked to think to herself a lot. She should write her own novel; Ginny to Ginny. Or something like that. Then she continued..

'You listen here Malfoy. Make amends or not you do not hand a girl a magnificent piece of jewellery and curse it all the same.'

More laughing. I couldn't help it, now she was threatening me. Then I remembered of telling her I wouldn't leave until they made amends. But the longer she was staying as a muggle the longer my holiday lasted anyway.

'Why would I take the spell off? You're a hilarious little girl.' I mused.

'Little? You think I'm little. Malfoy I'm 24, that's hardly little!' She shrieked.

I wasn't done, ' 'Cause adults always run away from there problems..'

I'm guessing she tore the necklace off at that point because a part of my head seemed clearer and all normal again. I took my time that morning at getting dressed. I put on a casual green Campus Crew tee and some faded blue jeans. As I was brushing my teeth I noticed that I had run out of gel and groaned. 'Ah well.My hairdoesn't look that bad today anyway.' It just bothered me yesterday because when I didn't put the gel in Ginny kept staring at it. That got me a littleparanoid.

Glancing at the invitation on the counter I decided today would be fine morning to accept the invitation to Granger's dumfounded wedding. Of course it was not the'wedding of the year' if I, Draco Malfoy, was not there. It took me awhile to find the phone however, because I didn't watch where it went when I flung it on the floor earlier that morning.

When Granger finally picked up I was bored at this idea already.

"Hello?" She squeaked into the earpiece.

"Hello Granger." I droned heavily as if yawning.

"Malfoy! Wow! So you're really coming? I can't wait to tell Ron. I wasn't sure if you'd come or not seeing as you're on a holiday and the work is pilling on your desk..." She needs a timer, telling her to shut up every two minutes. The whole point of a conversation was so that both people could talk.

"Shut up Granger. And I'm on holiday until you're fiancé gets his bloody sister to agree to the job."

"Oh it was splendid, here I was minding my sewing and the phone rang. It was Ginny! Ginny Weasley herself talking in the other end. It was like talking to a national monument..." only Granger would think such a thing.

"... And she was calling to talk to Ron, about confirming the wedding no doubt."

I nearly choked, "She's coming to the wedding?" This wasn't sounding like Ginny. Though she did soundquiet on the phone...

"Well no actually. She seemed fascinated by the details but she snapped at the mention of coming." Granger sounded hurt. Granger was also daft so it all works out one way or another.

"Did you know Ron payed her a visit last night. My Ron, the stubborn ass, visited Ginny. I'm so shocked I never thought..." I didn't have to fake a yawn because now I was doing about several every few minutes. What ever it was she wanted to say, I didn't want to hear it.

"Just put me on the list." And I hung up.

He had absolutely no right to insult me. NO RIGHT! I was actually going to go visit him today but HA! Nooo. Not in my books. Instead I think I'll just do some shopping and then come home and eat a tone of Ben & Jerry's. I was actually going to consider 'making amends' too. Oh he is so off my buddy list.

Suddenly I stopped by the couch noticing the small piece of paper on the floor. Picking it up I realised it was the parchment that held Draco's letter and all that angst was gone. Smiling at the cute and fancy writing that danced across the page I decided to skip the shopping and go straight into indulging the ice cream. It was starting to look like I was falling in love with Malfoy all over again.

Oh Sacre bloody bleu!

The Sun was shining and I felt a little happy. Walking out of the hotel i actually enjoyed the walk to the park. It wasn't so bad here. Not exactly the vacation I had expected but it all worked out one way or another.

As I walked past all the busy people It finally ocurred to me that I probably wouldn't have the gut to leave L.A until Ginny was mine. It was the most random thought but it was true one way or another. Again, I wasn't leaving anyway because I was on vacation until she took my job.

Entering the park I noticed that it was a pretty popular spot to come onSunday. The weather was nice too. Lots of people with their dogs and kids. Muggles didn't seem half bad. They certainly enjoyed the lives they had.

Then I noticed Ginny sitting alone on the bench. She seemed to be reading a novel and enjoying the fresh air. The sun lit up her hair so she looked dazzaling. I kind of stopped and stared. I wouldn't normally do such and abrubt thing but lately she just opened a locked door in my heart I guess.

I walked over to where she sat and stood in front of her, blocking the Sun. She glanced up and smiled. I took the seat beside her.

"I talked to Ron. He called just asI was leaving my apartment." She seemed so cheerful.

I nodded, "That's great Weasley."

"It really is. Cause he told me about the job and I said I'd think about it and i acceped the wedding invite." She smiled up at me.

"You're getting there Weasley."

"I am arn't I!" She was so cute and innocent. She really beleived in everything she did. All of a sudden she's facing the past and she's handeling it pretty well. It didn't take that long. But she's getting there.

Ron did call. It's amazing what a couple of days can do to me. Ron said he'd get an auror to help me with my magic. And I'd need togo overmy seven years of schoolsoI knew what I'dbe talking about. I was excited. Really I was. I feel as ifI never left just got lost.

Then there'sMalfoy. He'sbeen looking at me funny lately. As if he wants kiss me. Honestly I wouldn't mind. Cause his hair is all messed up andhe looksso hot in muggle clothes. Apparently Draco was invited to the wedding too. And just this morning he acceptedthe invite. I guess that's whyI told RonI'd come, so that if anything wentwrong,Draco would be there.

We just sat there, me smiling like an idiot and Draco smiling to myself.It was these kinds of moments where i wishI had given him a charmed something so I could hear his thoughts.

A/N: there's about two chapters left, i'm working on a new story, one that i'd probably have more interest in to write.

I was feeling optimistic today. How about you?

Review?
